Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 104 Making Money
The news that Celia had become a second-tier class caused quite a stir, but it was mostly directed at her classmates.

Most people just exclaimed in surprise and moved on; only a few people really cared.

Doris was one of them.

She managed to stop Celia around noon and repeatedly asked her in an incredulous tone:
"You...you've reached level two? When did that happen?"

Celia smiled slightly: "Although I know you really want to congratulate me, you don't need to stop me on the way to the cafeteria. You can go inside and talk."

Doris pouted and said angrily, "Who's talking to you? Humph, don't be so smug. It's just the second tier. I can advance anytime."

"what ever."

Celia walked past the other person and entered the cafeteria. She had just received her lunch and sat down when Benovia suddenly sat down in front of her.

"Congratulations," she said.

Celia was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you."

Despite being candidates, Doris and Benovia had completely different attitudes.

Benovia gave Celia a very casual feeling, as if she didn't care at all about the competition for the Saintess candidate.

But her strength should not be underestimated.

Celia quietly asked Ross, "Lord Ross, has Benovia advanced to the second tier yet?"

Even if she's at the second tier, without taking action, Celia couldn't determine Benovia's tier; it seemed she had practiced some kind of spell that concealed her tier.

"Not yet, but it will be soon."

"As expected of a mysterious opponent."

"Doris will be here soon too," Ross added.

"she also……"

Celia's eyes widened, but she quickly recovered.

As nobles, they had already accumulated resources before entering the Holy Magic Academy, so they would definitely be able to easily reach the critical point after becoming sorcerers.

They just haven't made a breakthrough.

Celia suddenly felt that she had broken through a bit too quickly.

"This speed is just right. The beluga whale's fins can prevent the problem of declining control and magic purity caused by progressing too quickly."

Ross said calmly, "Moreover, you have entered the deepest realm of the gods. Even if a sorcerer is filled with drugs, their control and the purity of their magic will not be a problem when they return from the deepest realm of the gods. The only difference is that they will be weaker."

"That's good."

Celia relaxed.

While the two ate face-to-face in silence, Ross observed Benovia.

Of course, it wasn't about admiring her beauty or anything like that.

Although Benovia possessed a beauty comparable to Celia's, and had blonde hair, she wasn't enough to attract Ross's attention.

What attracted him was the subtle sensation emanating from Benovia.

I've gotten a bit stronger.

"Could this girl really be praying to that statue of the god whose spiritual power I left behind every day?"

Ross, who was originally prepared to give up, couldn't help but become interested.

As a seasoned farming player, Ross never gambles everything; if he can, he won't put all his eggs in one basket.

Although relying solely on Celia, if she plays it safe and doesn't get discovered and suppressed by the twelve main gods, she can basically protect them until she successfully breaks the seal.

But having more options is always good. Since Benovia is praying so diligently to gods outside the Holy See, let's respond to her at the right time.

With that in mind, Ross already had a plan in mind.

"correct……"

Suddenly, Celia spoke up. After Benovia looked up, she said, "I've been so busy lately that I forgot to return the Heart of Gold to you. Shall we go to the dorm together to return it?"

Benovia shook her head. "You've already paid for something of equal value; that's yours, you don't need to give it to me."

"Uh, I don't think the information I provided is worth that many Hearts of Gold..."

“Some things can’t be measured in gold coins,” Benovia said. “You didn’t just give me clues, you gave me joy, and I think my joy is worth more than those hearts of gold.”

"Okay, thanks."

So, all I was supposed to be providing emotional value was...?

Celia muttered to herself.

She hadn't used the remaining Heart of Gold, intending to return it to Benovia when she had some free time, but she hadn't had the chance.

Now that Benovia has clearly stated no, Celia can't help but have some other ideas.

"Since Benovia doesn't want them, we can't just leave these materials here."

The girl had already made her decision.

"Use them to make money for me!"

Celia's daily routine remained largely unchanged, except that she no longer needed to attend some classes as she advanced in her grade. The school gave her the option to use her free time to do her own thing or temporarily attend classes with the upperclassmen.

Celia chose to free up her time and bought blank scrolls that could hold spells of the second tier and above. She first used ordinary ink to learn how to draw some popular and scarce second-tier spell scrolls, and then tried to draw runes for third-tier spells.

Ross recognized her talent for runes and was very confident. After several failures, she actually drew a third-tier magic scroll.

"I really am a genius!"

The girl held the scroll up to the light, gazing at the intricate magical patterns on it, and began to ponder in her mind.

"Tier 1 scrolls are priced between 20 and 120 silver coins, Tier 2 scrolls are priced between 80 silver coins and 3 gold coins, Tier 3 scrolls can only be purchased with gold coins, with a minimum of 5 gold coins per scroll, and Tier 4 scrolls start at 20 gold coins, with no upper limit... Wait, I can't draw Tier 4 scrolls yet, so let's take a look at Tier 2 and Tier 3 spells and see what's the most popular."

After searching the Protoss network for a while, Celia found no specific data. The network was full of propaganda that the higher the rank, the better, and that a mercenary would be embarrassed to take on a mission if he didn't have two or three fourth-rank scrolls.

Celia didn't believe the above claims. She chose to go to the Mercenary Guild the next day to investigate, observe the vendors selling scrolls, and see what they were selling and which scrolls sold the most.

It took half a day for Celia to get confirmation.

"The Protoss network is full of scams. The Mercenary Guild doesn't sell any Tier 4 scrolls. The most popular ones are Tier 1 Healing, Entangling, and Rock Armor."

"Second-tier items are rare; the most common are Hymns: Blessing, Water Song, and Forest Blessing, all of which are support-type. Third-tier... I haven't seen many, and even when I have, I haven't seen them sold."

Celia felt that just looking at the Mercenary Guild wasn't enough, so she went to the Mage Guild to observe until nightfall, and finally confirmed:
"Even within the Sorcerer's Guild, there aren't many buyers for scrolls of rank three or higher, unless they encounter nobles purchasing life-saving items... they're still too expensive."

Celia roughly understood that scrolls were consumables; once used, they were gone. Unless a fool with too much money came along to buy them, they would be difficult to sell.

It's not that these scrolls are unpopular; on the contrary, everyone would want to have high-level scrolls if they could.

However, high-level scrolls have two drawbacks. First, they are too expensive. Second, they have usage rank requirements, and can only be used by a rank lower than the previous one. For example, a rank 3 scroll requires a rank 2 mage to use, and a rank 4 scroll requires a rank 3 mage.

The most active mercenaries are mostly first-tier mages, while second- and third-tier mages are already capable of leading a mercenary group.

As for the fourth tier, Celia didn't know if there were any fourth-tier mages among the mercenaries. Mages of this level could already hold positions in advanced magic schools like the Holy Magic Academy.

After much deliberation, Celia made a decision: "Make more first and second-tier scrolls to sell, and make a few third-tier scrolls to test the waters."

While she was thinking about how to make money, she didn't notice that Ross seemed to have disappeared.
